Evan's apartment is very clean and comfortable place to stay in. And if you want to have a truly local experience to start with a lovely and peaceful neighborhood, the house, the way the apartment is equipped and even a stiff mattress, which is a common thing in Asia, this is a place to go with. Spent a great week staying here!
PS: Evan, your welcome letter with a quick intro to Thai culture was very useful and interesting to read, especially for a beginner like me:)
